MONTCALM TOWNSHIP – Because of the support he received from his friends and family in and around his hometown of Greenville, a country artist returned home to premier his new country video.

Scottie Michael Hall, 29, left Greenville during his sophomore year of high school and finished his schooling through the Army National Guard.

Hall originally moved to Nashville to become a songwriter with no intentions of being a solo artist.

He released his first CD “Love, Loss & Livin’” in December 2010 after losing both his uncle and father to suicide. The EP features “Mad At You,” an anthem and personal story for suicide prevention.

“It’s the beginning of a lot of cool stuff,” Hall said.

Because of the support he has received from the area through the sales of his EP and the following he has developed on social networking sites like Facebook, Hall said it was important for him to return home and have his supporters be a part of a major event in his career.

“I couldn’t do it without the fans,” Hall said. “I am really blessed.”

Tracy said he enjoyed working with Hall on the video because of Hall’s passion and dedication to his job.

“I couldn’t say no,” Tracy said. “It was an awesome experience. We had a lot of fun.”

Once the holidays have passed, Hall will be involved in label meetings to start the next part of his career.

The next step for the singer is to have his song released to iTunes, radio and television to be showcased on channels such as Country Music Television (CMT) and more.
